Furniture expo opens in City

The best of wood works that Viet Nam has to offer will be on display at the HCM City International Furniture & Handicrafts Fair 2010 scheduled to be held here next month.

Nearly 300 enterprises will present furniture, handicraft items, wood-processing machinery and materials in some 700 booths at the Tan Binh Exhibition and Convention Centre from October 6-10.

Organisers said the five-day annual event will play an important part in helping furniture and handicraft industries boost export and obtain their targeted export revenues of US$4.5 billion this year.

As part of the national trade promotion programme, it will also help local, mostly small and medium sized wood and handicraft enterprises, introduce new products and build business links with foreign importers.

Additionally, the exhibition will feature the Online Expo, which so far has attracted more than 800 enterprises with 7,000 products, an increase of 21 and 40 per cent respectively over last year.

Local enterprises will have the opportunity to establish Business to Business contacts with foreign importers at a seminar on purchasing demand and product standards that will be held during the exhibition.

The fair is being co-organised by the city’s Department of Industry and Trade, the Viet Nam Trade Promotion Agency and the HCM City Handicrafts and Wood Industry Association. — VNS
